A Belgium-based Euro-dance outfit with powerful pop appeal, Lasgo are known for their debut hit "Something." With Evi Goffin on vocals, DJs Peter Luts and Dave McCullen create beats à la Tiesto and atmospherics reminiscent of Ferry Corsten and Paul van Dyk.
Lasgo are much more than faceless producers with a pretty vocalist. A trio of equal merits, they each bring a hefty contribution to the band. Peter Luts, the eldest of the three, is the studio wizard, crafting the beats and sounds that are at the core of the Lasgo experience. Dave McCullen contributes the lyrics and melodies in addition to working on the music with Peter. And then there is Evi Goffin, the centerpiece, the focal point, the iconic star. Dave and Peter, both of whom were DJ-ing on the Belgian scene for years before meeting at a local record store where Peter worked, their first project was Astroline, a very dance-based affair that was influenced by Peter's heroes including Tiesto, Ferry Corsten and Paul van Dyk ...
But they knew that their love of pure pop and 80's-style tunes would take them into new directions and as soon as they heard Evi singing on a track that their manager played, they realised she was the perfect voice for them. And as the album demonstrates, her rich vocals work equally well on the epic balladry of Cryâ as they do on the classic dance anthem Somethingâ. Already a smash hit in clubs and on the radio well before it was released in February 2002, Somethingâ went silver in a matter of weeks, becoming the biggest selling dance record of the year so far and remaining in the Airplay Top 50 for a mind-frazzling 28 weeks! Further success has come their way with the second single Aloneâ which has been a smash around the planet, and the debut album Some Thingsâ which took five months to record in between playing out sell-out gigs to adoring fans throughout the world.
